Catholic Junior College (CJC) will be relocated to a new campus near Punggol Digital District (PDD) in 2034, the Ministry of Education (MOE) said on Friday (Jan 16).The relocation under the second phase of the JC Rejuvenation Programme — previously announced during MOE’s Budget debate in February last year —  will be the third-oldest junior college’s first since its founding in 1975.CJC’s move from its Whitley Road campus in Novena will bring it closer to firms and institutions in the 50ha tech park, which is touted as Singapore’s first smart district.This means that the school can explore collaborations and partnerships, as well as «enrich» the educational experience of students with opportunities in the digital sector, MOE said.Deputy Prime Minister Gan Kim Yong said that CJC’s relocation — a «deliberate» choice — aims to allow students to better connect their pre-university education to a “world beyond college”.He cited the Singapore Institute of Technology’s (SIT) move to a new campus within the PDD last year as an example of how schools can apply learning to real-world practice and deepen collaboration with industry partners.
